Entry DescriptionMonroe Lake interpretive naturalist Jill Vance will offer two free programs for the public at the Bedford Public Library on Tuesday, March 18.

From 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., children can drop by Vance’s table in the children’s department to investigate the “guts” of a tree nut, learn how a nut develops into a tree, and make a simple craft using tree nuts.

At 6 p.m. there will be a 45-minute program for adults and older children in the downstairs program room. “Indiana’s Oaks” will take the audience on a virtual tour of Indiana’s forests and introduce the variety of oaks found within them. Vance will also talk about the importance of acorns in oak identification.
